Copenhagen’s vibrant food scene continues to evolve, offering both residents and visitors an array of new dining experiences. Here’s a look at some recent additions and revitalized classics that are making waves in the city.
Krogs Fiskerestaurant: A Historic Rebirth
After over a century at its Gammel Strand location, Krogs Fiskerestaurant has undergone a significant transformation. Reopening in May 2026, the restaurant now boasts a gourmet focus under the leadership of Chef Andreas Ring Kjeldsholm Hansen. Adjacent to the main dining area, the former fish butcher shop has been reimagined as a casual all-day spot, offering pastries, coffee, open sandwiches by day, and a wine bar by night, making Krogs a destination from morning through evening.
Magny: A Chef’s Counter Experience
Chef Jonas Mikkelsen, formerly of the Michelin-starred Frederiksminde in Præstø, has introduced Magny, a 16-seat counter restaurant that opened in April 2026. The establishment offers a 12-course set menu shaped by the Nordic seasons, featuring in-season vegetables, fish, shellfish, and carefully selected meats sourced from producers who meet the team’s standards for sustainability and animal welfare.
Aotori & Akaton: Japanese Precision in Østerbro
Chef Mads Battefeld has unveiled two Japanese dining concepts in Østerbro: Aotori, an intimate eight-seat yakitori counter, and Akaton, a relaxed dining room dedicated to tonkatsu. Both establishments emphasize precision, restraint, and high-quality ingredients, offering diners a focused and authentic Japanese culinary experience.
Depanneur Deli: A Neighborhood Favorite Expands
Building on the success of its original location, Depanneur has opened a new deli on Rantzausgade. This café-cum-corner store continues to serve as a beloved neighborhood spot, offering a blend of café, deli, and bar experiences that have garnered a loyal following among locals.
These establishments reflect Copenhagen’s dynamic culinary landscape, blending tradition with innovation to offer diverse dining experiences for all tastes.
